My bulbs keep comming loose on my Supersonic pop bumpers. Can I purchase the metal inserts somewhere or do I remove and try to squeeze them closer together?

You can squeeze them together with some needle noses or buy new ones.

Just go a little at a time, if you go to far just stick the pliers inside the socket and spread it back out a little.

Make sure the power is off before sticking needlenose pliers onto the metal lamp sockets.

This will usually fix it temporarily. If you buy new ones, get the 906 sockets as you're much less likely to have this problem.

Edit: Sorry, meant 555. 906 are flashers.

Figured that was common knowledge.

I called PBresourse and ordered #555 replacement parts. I noticed on solid state games some LED's blink. Is there a way to correct that?
